Cocktails on the beach

This weekend we decided to watch the sunset at the beach with some friends...too bad it was cloudy. We had a great time anyway and the kids enjoyed being at the beach at night.

Stella's 6th Birthday Party on 23rd May

Here are a few pics from Stella's birthday party at the swimming pool. There were 10 kids in total and they all seemed to have a good time even though it rained a bit. The good thing about living on the equator is that it is still warm even when it rains so the kids were able to swim anyway.


The girls are waiting for the guests to arrive.



The birthday cake!



Present time...



The best part is eating the cake!

Easter Monday at Cap Lopez

We went picnicing at Cap Lopez today to finish off Easter weekend. Vincent and the girls had a great time body surfing in the waves.

Easter weekend and the Rallye Surprise

Hello everyone! After a long hiatus... here are some pics of the recent goings on in Port Gentil! Sunday morning, we participated in our third Rallye Surprise. We had a good laugh and thankfully had Stella as a member of the team... thanks to her we won the potato sack race! We'll find out in a couple of hours how we did...








Because of the rallye this morning we had to send an email asking the Easter Bunny to come on Saturday. He was kind enough to oblige us. The girls had a great time trying to find all the hidden eggs. A special thanks to Nana for the "non-candy" items she bought last summer. I think Stella and Emilie almost liked them better than the chocolates!

Halloween Party

Here are a few pics of the girls' Halloween party last week. The kids had a great time bobbing for apples!

Once again at Cap Lopez...

We spent Saturday at Cap Lopez... for those of you who know Port Gentil, it is "the thing" to do! We had a great time with the girls. It was low tide and there were lots of amazingly warm tidal pools for Stella and Emilie to play in.
